Sallie's POV
I watched Jill clench her jaw, her eyes burning with resentment. The thought was written all over her face - they'd always claimed she was the Noah family's precious princess, yet deep down, they still couldn't sever their connection to me.
Fighting to appear composed, Jill emerged from behind Webster. "Sallie, this is just a misunderstanding. Can't you simply say sorry to Dad?"
"He might not be your biological father, but he's always cared for you as his daughter. Look, staging a kidnapping for cash was crossing a line, so naturally Dad's upset."
"Just give Dad an apology, will you? I know he'll forgive you and welcome you back."
The instant Jill stopped talking, the Noah family's expressions toward me changed slightly, as though they expected me to cave and surrender.
